Now they will secure the scene for at least ONE HOUR prior to letting any reporter or photographer in the "crime scene."<BR/><BR/>cfs est nomen ejusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826765136724063244.post-68926952475520588442007-05-16T09:03:00.000-07:002007-05-16T09:03:00.000-07:00Rice ...

John Kerry?), unfortunately we independants are usually not left with great choices when it comes to the General Election. Seems that both parties have been hi-jacked by the extreme wings. We are left voting for the candidate that disgusts us least.<BR/><BR/>politicom ... I don't agree with limiting access to the media (with the exception of Geraldo Rivera's bone-head sand map), reporters in the combat zone do a great service in letting the general public know what war is like ... just like sensationalism showed just how terrible the 9/11 attack was (do you remember the pics in the tabloids showing people jumping out of the World Trade Center to avoid burning to death?). I actually think there is a market out there for feel-good stories from the war ... look at the success of shows like "Extreme Make-Over Home Edition". People want to feel proud, maybe cry a little ... very therapeutic.Paul Champagnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05436813932794112221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826765136724063244.post-55486807699424517342007-05-15T13:29:00.000-07:002007-05-15T13:29:00.000-07:00Paul, the media is NOT going to be "fair and balan...Paul, the media is NOT going to be "fair and balanced" reporting from the war zones. Good news WILL NOT sell newspapers. One thing that is happening right now is the IRAQI government changing "the rules on reporting" ... they will no longer allow reporters or photographers in the HOT ZONE [bombing/killing areas] to report bad news.<BR/><BR/>cfsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826765136724063244.post-80897815791316359852007-05-15T12:01:00.000-07:002007-05-15T12:01:00.000-07:00I will need to preface my statements with the fact...I will need to preface my statements with the fact that I am a registered Independent and never voted for President Bush.<BR/>What happened to your daughter goes well beyond politics. People should be able to keep their opinions to themselves when it will obviously hurt a family member.The soldiers fighting the war are brave, smart and true to their mission. Your wife is absolutely entitled to rip her brother. <BR/>I don't agree with this war at all but I have nothing but respect for any soldier and his family who have sacrificed everything for their country.Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227094556608854569noreply@blogger.com
